[staggers into the house, looking the worst for wear. His hair is a mess, his clothes are torn in a few places, dirt smudges all across his face and arms. The dark slashes under his eyes made it perfectly clear that he hadn't slept for days. He dropped his bag in the hall, sighing to himself]He really is gone. I looked everywhere, in every nook and

We're more similar than I thought.

[zombie_pen]

[tilts his head]

Yeah? How so?

[vi952]

I did exactly what you're doing now, awhile back. Yukimura disappeared for three days.

[zombie_pen]

[bites his lip]

Only difference is... Yukimura came back. Dean's not.

[2yoraedragon]

She was fine.

...And I can take care of her for a little bit longer. You look like you need some time to recover.

[zombie_pen]

I'm glad she behaved. Sometimes she can be a bit of a handful.

[smiles faintly] I really don't want to be alone, actually. She'd be a welcome distraction.

[2yoraedragon]

Animals seem to behave around me. I think it's because of my eyes.

Okay. I'll bring her over, then.

[zombie_pen]

[blinks]

Usually it's a person's presence that calms animals, not their eyes.

Thanks, man.

[Yin felt like checking up on him.]

Do not give up.

[zombie_pen]

It's not like I want to. But he's gone. There's no sign of him anywhere.

[moonlightelegy]

[She shakes her head. After having spent a while today using her observer apparition she understands this place a little more.]

He's gone, but not forever.

[zombie_pen]

[smiles weakly at her]

You're sweet.

[ad_perditionem]

He's really gone? Seriously...gone?

[there's an edge of panic in Sam's voice, but he tries to keep a handle on it]

[zombie_pen]

I-I looked everywhere. There's no trace of him anywhere.

[looks up at his twin, his worry and sorrow stamped clearly across his face]

[ad_perditionem]

Sit down. Relax. Keep the hell away from the booze and let me figure this out. This is Dean. He wouldn't---he wouldn't just leave us like that. He wouldn't.

[zombie_pen]

One, I am sitting.

Two, easy for you to say, you've already done this.

Three, now that's just unreasonable.

He's left before... but it was always just for a few days and then he'd come back, usually with no memory of being gone in the first place. He's past his three day deadline though.
